rsimoes,
How original is original?
1. Wiring
I know that Kirkham can wire the car with Lucas or newer Painless wiring.
The newer Shelby cars I have seen, have modern wiring, check to see if they still offer Lucas wiring. Do you mind GM fuses in the engine bay?
My car still has the Lucas parts faux on the firewall but will has the modern stuff hidden in the car, looks original but has the dependablity of the modern.
2. Puke Tank
Kirkham has the puke tank.
Shelby moves the engine back towards the firewall several inches(not original position), check and see if they offer the puke tank after doing so. Most newer Shelby car I have seen do not have a Puke Tank.
If you want all the 1965 details, most likely you will have to do it yourself or find a builder to do it for you.
Suspension
Both use a more modern Suspension but Kirkham can sell you an exact reproduction of the original pieces.
How far from the original 1965 car are you willing to stray?
Original is a loaded word, how original do you want to be and what are your build skills. Are you building the roller or is someone else?
If you want to replicate a CSX3000 which some members consider the ultimate the Kirkham is the place to start and they have the original parts to do so.
Have fun.
